mg/kg/day, the third treatment was given a water alcoholic extract of Turkish carob fruits at a dose
of 400 mg/kg/day the fourth treatment Dosing with vitamin E at a dose of 400 mg / kg / day.. The
results showed that the water-alcoholic extract of Turkish carob and vitamin E improved semen
characteristics for all study treatments compared to the control group . The second, third and fourth
treatments had a significant increase over the control group in improving ejaculate volume, sperm
concentration, and group and individual movement of sperm, which was offset by a significant
decrease in the percentages of dead and distorted sperms in all months of the study. We conclude
